Copy Alexis Bledel's Bold Lip Look

I envy the way Alexis Bledel pulls off a bold lip. So using some of my new favorite products from mark, I set out to replicate the look.

The video is a little on the long side (did you know that long-winded is my middle name?) but there's a surprise at the end.

Hang in there for a sneak peek at an amazing 3-in-1 lip product from Avon (to be released later this summer.

Products featured in video:

* mark Get In Line Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner Hook Up (available June 2009)

* mark Lip Exotics Lip Lacquer Hook Up ( in Fever)

* Kaia 3-In-1 Sustainable Bamboo Cleansing Cloths (I remove the lipgloss with one)

* Avon Pro 3-in-1 Lip Wand (available July 2009)

The Mother (Earth) of All Green Giveaways

This morning, I appeared on the 10! Show - and I gifted the studio audience with a few of my favorite green things. But what kind of friend would I be if I didn't give my online friends a chance to get your green on?

This week, Spoiled Pretty is giving y'all the mother (Earth) of all green giveaways!!!

One reader will win:

John Masters Organics Blood Orange & Vanilla Body Wash and Body Milk: Created with the mildest botanically-based surfactants from corn and coconut, John Masters Organics Blood Orange & Vanilla Body Wash foams into a creamy, rich, sulfate-free lather that gently removes dirt and oil - leaving skin soft and smooth. The Body Milk is a quickly-absorbing, delicate blend of milk thistle, aloe vera and essential oils of blood orange and vanilla. Both products are made with certified organic ingredients, and smell like orange creamsicle. If heaven has a fragrance, it's this.

Cargo PlantLove 100% Natural Origin Baked Illuminator: A stunning mixture of three shades of blush, bronzer and highlighter in one, Cargo PlantLove 100% Natural Origin Baked Illuminator gives cheeks and body an all-over warmth and glow. The Illuminator promotes healthy, nourished skin while imparting a perfect flush and is available in three shades: Earth (gold, copper and bronze combination), Wind (terracotta, champagne and bronze combination), and Fire (pink, pearl and bronze combination). The compostable case is made from 100% plant-derived plastic and the outercarton is made from 100% post-consumer waste, which is produced in a mill that has a zero carbon footprint.

Kaia 3-In-1 Sustainable Bamboo Cleansing Cloths: These brilliant, quick cleansing cloths remove all traces of makeup, daily grime & buildup. Infused with eight pure citrus essential oils, organic Canadian honey, sunflower seed oil, oat amino acids, and fatty alcohol that won’t dry skin, the cloths leave skin feeling velvety soft, with no sticky residue. Made from 100% sustainable bamboo, Kaia Bamboo Facial Cleansing Cloths are natural, unbleached, bio-degradable, and cashmere soft.

Tarte Be Good To Your Mother (Earth) Tote Set: Celebrate your Mother Earth every day with Tarte’s reusable tote and three natural Lip Sheers. Reduce (golden coral), Reuse (vibrant pink), and Recycle (soft nude-peach) Lip Sheers are SPF 15 and packaged in post-consumer recycled aluminum tubes - which helps reduce environmental waste. Lip Sheers are formulated without parabens, sulfates, mineral oil and synthetic fragrance. The set includes a reusable natural cotton tote that can be used to carry groceries or just to let the world know how environmentally chic you are.

Zoya Ooh-La-La and La-Di-Da Nail Polish Collections: Zoya Nail Polish is the brainchild of Zoya Reyzis who, as a pregnant aesthetician and salon owner in 1984, realized the need for ahealthier and more durable solution. Zoya was the first nail polish brand to remove toxic ingredients such as toluene, camphor, formaldehyde and DBP (dibutyl phthalate) from its formulations -making it a safe and healthy polish for nail philes everywhere, particularly expectant women. Available in over 300 fashion-forward shades, this award-winning polish is the longest-wearing natural nail lacquer.
